Soon, he walked up to her and said warmly, “Please come with me.”
“Thank you.”
Camryn thanked the secretary as she followed him.
When they came to his office, the secretary knocked on the door and went in first to announce that Camryn had arrived.
“Let her in.”
Callum was still busy, so he responded in a deep voice without raising his head.
The secretary invited Camryn to enter the office before retreating.
Camryn listened attentively to which direction Callum’s voice resounded from when he talked to the secretary.
She walked straight in that direction after entering the office.
When she encountered something along the way, she avoided it. Although she walked very slowly, she managed to make her way to Callum’s desk.
The reason she was sure she reached his desk was that her walking stick poked Callum’s foot under the desk. She hurriedly retracted the cane.
Callum only looked up when his foot was poked by her cane.
“Why are you so late? I was just about to leave work.”
Callum complained about Camryn’s tardiness the moment he opened his mouth.
Camryn fumbled and leaned the white cane against his desk, then handed the bouquet to Callum and said apologetically, “I can’t see, so I walk slower than normal. That’s why I’m late. This is the bouquet you asked for on the phone.”
“Tell me. How did you come here?”
Callum took the flowers and casually placed them on the table. He did not like flowers. He was just looking for an excuse for Camryn to come over.
“I had one of my assistants drive me to the entrance of the office building, then I walked. myself in.”
“No one led you here?”
“No, I only asked how to get to your office from the entrance.”
Callum hummed and looked at her for a moment before saying gently, “Have a seat.”
Huh?
Camryn was a little stunned. She thought Callum would let her go back after she delivered the bouquet and received the payment from him.
“Since you’re here, sit down for some water.”
Callum got up as he spoke and walked around the desk to pour a cup of warm water for Camryn.
Camryn felt around for a chair and carefully sat down. She hurriedly thanked Callum when he handed her a cup of warm water.
“If I tell you not to let your assistant drive you here, can you take a car to my company?” Callum asked as he returned to his seat.
Camryn paused before saying, “Is there a bus that stops in front of your company?”
“There are several buses that pass by the entrance of my company.”
“If someone can send me to the bus stop, I can reach your company without needing my assistant to drop me off.”
After staring at her for another moment, Callum pursed his lips and said, “Try coming by yourself next time. Tell your employee to stop Bus No. 6 for you. That one can reach my company.”
Camyrn was silent for a moment before asking, “Mr. York, did I offend you somehow?
“No. We’ve only met a few times. How could you have offended me?”
Even if she had offended him, he would be tolerant. After all, they would spend the rest of their lives together.
He would not hold it against her.
“If I haven’t offended you, why did you want me to personally send the flowers over? You also wanted me to come here by myself and not let others lead me.”
Callum said, “You’ll be coming here often in the future. I hope you can remember the route you need to take to reach me. Once you’re familiar, it’s easier for you to come over.”
Camryn was speechless.
Why would she come to see him?
Plus, why did he say she would come here often?
“Some of the potted plants in our company have died. Maybe they died of radiation because there are too many computers. I want to help everyone change their potted plants.
Callum stopped to look at her.
Camryn thought, ‘What a great business opportunity!‘
“Okay, I’ll take the bus myself next time I come over. I know where to go after reaching the building entrance since I remember the route. I’ll come quicker next time. I won’t keep you waiting.”
“Mr. York, if your company wants to change your potted flowers, you can come to Spring Blossoms. Our store has many potted plants suitable for the office.”
Callum smiled and said, “Sure. Send over all green potted plants suitable for the office. tomorrow. We want as many as you have. Size doesn’t matter. There’s a small park in front of the office building. You can place them there.”
Camryn responded, “Okay.
‘Mr. York…
“Call me Callum. Mr. York sounds awkward.”
Camryn was a little taken aback, but she soon smiled faintly and uttered, “Mr. Callum.”
It would not sound as awkward if she used his first name, right?
Callum thought about how they had only known each other for a short amount of time. She would find it inappropriate to just address him by his name, so he did not say more and acquiesced to her adding a Mr to his name.
“Mr. Callum, about the Marshall family…”
Callum said, “Since you sent the bouquet over as I requested, I’ll keep my promise. I’ll call the hotel manager later and have him send someone to buy flowers from your store.”
The Marshall family told the hotel to set up the venue on their own. They informed the hotel what they wanted, and the staff would set up the place according to their requests. The staff guaranteed that the banquet would be grand and magnificent.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
Camryn was happy. She felt that the trip made today was not in vain.
She was able to receive two large orders.
Seeing her good mood, Callum was happy too.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now, Mr. Callum. I won’t disturb your work.”
Camryn felt for her white cane and held it before standing up to leave. However, she did not forget to remind Callum, “Mr. Callum, you haven’t given me the money for the flowers.”
Callum did not withhold the payment from her and pulled out two hundred dollars from his wallet to hand to her.
He told her to wrap a bouquet worth two hundred dollars for him.
After receiving the money, Camryn placed the cash into her trouser pocket and once again turned to leave.
Callum picked up the bouquet of flowers, walked around the desk, and stuffed it into Camryn’s hands. “This is for you. Let’s go out together. It’s time for dinner, so I’ll treat you.”
Camryn was dumbfounded by his actions.
He called and told her to personally send over a bouquet of flowers, which she did. She thought he was giving the bouquet to a girl he fancied. She did not expect him to give it to her so casually.
The money for the flowers went into her pocket, and the bouquet returned to her hands too.
